Oye Como Va was written by Latin jazz king Tito Puente in 1963. Santana's 1971 version reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song has the classic rhythm and tempo of cha-cha-cha. The fact that the phrase Oye como va is the title of the song and is sung somewhat separately from the phrase mi ritmo makes it easy to interpret the meaning as Hey, how's it going? However, the first sentence is actually Oye como va mi ritmo, meaning Listen to how my rhythm goes.
